Community capacity and marketplace floors, per GPU-hour
Capacity on other people's machines, compared on its own: a community rate is a fixed list price for a machine a third party hosts; a marketplace floor is the median of the five cheapest verified offers at the time of reading, and moves with supply. Either can be taken back sooner than an on-demand rate card, and neither enters the verdict above or any median.

How this is compared
Cloud GPU rental prices of GPU.ai and RunPod, compared per GPU-hour on the GPUs both list. Where a provider has several tiers or regions, its cheapest on-demand rate is used and labelled. Community capacity (RunPod Community Cloud) and marketplace floors are shown only where a provider has nothing else, and never decide which is cheaper.
